How Do I remove the ECM? (Need some help)

I'm having problems starting my 96 Maxima:

Reference:

I want to remove the ECM and do some testing, but I can't get it out.

There are 4 screws that hold the ECM to the bracket. I have 3 of the 4 out, but the one on the front on the passenger side doesn't leave much room. I have an angled screwdriver but just can't get it out. I even removed the clip that holds the cable. Screwdriver on a rachet is too long.

What kind of tool do I use?

I can't seem to get at the screws that hold the mounting bracket down.

Is there an easier way?

Mike

Got it...

I bought a 1/4 inch ratcheting wrench, shortened a phillips bit and bent the ear that covered the screw. Could only rachet one cog at a time, but I got it out.

Just for future reference. This is the best tool for the job.
